The Shanghai Watches 1955 Moonphase 39mm Special Edition in Salmon is an elegant mechanical timepiece that bridges mid-century design cues with contemporary refinement. Part of the 1955 series - a collection rooted in one of the brand’s most historic breakthroughs - this watch balances classic proportions with a distinctive dial that brings subtle visual warmth to a timeless aesthetic.

• Classic dial presence with an expressive moonphase indication


• Mechanical character and refined finishing that honour traditional watchmaking
  

Heritage & Design Language

The 1955 series pays tribute to Shanghai Watch’s early achievements in mechanical timekeeping, a heritage marked by innovation and thoughtful, everyday utility. Drawing on this legacy, the Moonphase Special Edition reimagines historic cues - like proportion and printing style - in a package that feels both authentic and relevant today.

The salmon-toned dial brings warmth and nuance, enlivened by silver-toned hands, applied indices, and an integrated moonphase display. Complemented by finely finished surfaces and a tasteful layout, the watch feels quietly expressive rather than loud.

Movement & Mechanics

At its heart is the Seagull 1818 automatic movement, a dependable mechanical calibre known for smooth operation and reliable performance. With about 40 hours of power reserve, the movement provides a reassuring blend of practicality and mechanical personality.

The moonphase indication adds a refined complication that enriches daily engagement with the watch - a gentle reminder of time’s deeper rhythms.

On the Wrist

Sized at 39mm, the Moonphase Special Edition offers balanced proportions that suit a wide range of wrists. Paired with a black calf leather strap, it transitions seamlessly between formal occasions and refined everyday wear.

The salmon dial brings a touch of distinctive character without overwhelming the overall composure. Paired with subtle finishing and thoughtful detailing, this is a watch that feels considered and confident.
